Baby T-rex 3d print

[Tony G.]

Here is my baby T-rex 3d print.  3d files came from https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/life-size-baby-t-rex-skeleton-part-01-10.

 

This one took me about 8 months to complete.

My current project is now a Dilophosaurus skull.  Aprox. 2 feet when finished.

Very nice. That model is a pretty great sculpture.

Apparently it's mostly based on Chomper and Trix specimens.

Gorgeous statue! Great job!

[Dinoguy89]

Great job, it came out awesome!

[deutscheben]

Wow, very impressive! You did a great job with the painting and assembly. I can't wait to see the Dilophosaurus completed.

I always dreamed of having a mounted dinosaur skeleton of my own as a kid, so it is pretty wild that you can print your own at home now. 

[Allosaurus]

Very impressive indeed. What are its dimensions?

[dinosaur man]

The skeleton is about 3'4" tall and about 7' long.

That's a great model and learning experience. Well done!

Finished printing some more parts.  Only one part left to go for the skull.  The last part is taking about 26 hours to print.

What kind of 3D printer and resin do you use?

I use an Ender 3 Pro printer and generic PLA filament.

Wauw, I love this!

That is awesome! Where you you get the 3D models from? Do you make them yourself? I have tried some 3D printing and am really struck by the lack of cracks between pieces. How do you manage he smooth transition between them?

You should be really proud of this.

I just noticed the link you provided. Apologies for ignorance. Still, how do you hide the cracks between the pieces so smoothly?

I use wood putty and sandpaper.
